In the world of electronics, heat management is crucial. Polymer composites, especially those with boron nitride (BN), are widely used for this purpose. However, their effectiveness depends on how well the fillers are arranged and how they interact with the surrounding material. This study dives int
Imagine trying to create a crystal out of water. Sounds impossible, right? Well, scientists have just done something pretty close. They've made something called a "fluidic moiré superlattice" using swirling vortices in fluids. This is like a special kind of crystal made from water! Here's how they
Drones are being grounded over certain areas in New Jersey.

You might have heard that L-citrulline is great for exercise. It's said to help with blood flow, endurance, and even cycling performance. But does it work for running in hot weather when you're dehydrated? That's what scientists wanted to know. They gave some people L-citrulline for a week and then
Let's talk about a protein called LRRK2, which is linked to Parkinson's disease. This protein is like a multitool with seven different parts, including a kinase and a Roc G domain. Even though we know a lot about how it looks, we're still figuring out how it works. Scientists found out that the Roc
